I don’t say this often, but what awful music! No more than one star for this album...

The Velvet Underground & Nico

The Velvet Underground

2/5

Not my cup of tea… 😐

In Our Heads

Hot Chip

3/5

I’d never heard of this band before, but they didn’t disappoint. A bit like the Pet Shop Boys, a bit eighties… I thought they sounded pretty good 😊

C'est Chic

CHIC

5/5

Great album, already in my possession... :-)

Definitely Maybe

Oasis

5/5

When this album came out, I was 28 years old. I’m actually only familiar with the track ‘Live Forever’, but I actually quite like the rest of the album... :-)

Smash

The Offspring

2/5

Too loud for me

The Bends

Radiohead

3/5

I wasn’t familiar with this album, though the track ‘High and Dry’ did sound familiar, of course :-) The rest of the album wasn’t bad, so I’d give it a 7 out of 10...

S&M

Metallica

1/5

I hadn’t heard of this album before, and I can see why: I don’t like it at all, sorry...

Morrison Hotel

The Doors

2/5

I’ve just read that this is The Doors’ fifth album, but to be honest, I’m not familiar with it. I think the music is decent, especially the ‘bluesy’ tracks...

Violator

Depeche Mode

4/5

A good album, featuring, of course, a number of well-known hits… :-)

Parachutes

Coldplay

4/5

Coldplay? Never heard of them… 😉

Speakerboxxx/The Love Below

OutKast

2/5

I don’t really like most of the tracks on this album, but that’s just my personal opinion, of course... :-)

Electric Ladyland

Jimi Hendrix

2/5

An iconic album, but not quite to my taste...

Trio

Dolly Parton

1/5

It’s not that I don’t like country music, but I really don’t like this at all. Sorry...

Pretzel Logic

Steely Dan

4/5

I’ve got this album at home! :-) Lovely music...

Different Class

Pulp

4/5

Now this is brilliant: a band I’ve never heard of before, but this (fifth) album actually turns out to have two global hits on it! Apart from that, it’s clearly British pop music, and there’s nothing wrong with that. So keep surprising me... :-)

Done By The Forces Of Nature

Jungle Brothers

1/5

I’m not really into hip-hop, but despite that, I did listen to most of this album. Unfortunately, I won’t be listening to it again…

Rock Bottom

Robert Wyatt

1/5

Sorry, but the title of this album says it all for me: I don’t enjoy listening to this music, so I did give the album a listen, but no more than a minute per track…

Adele

4/5

Great album! Not perfect, but great... :-)

The Wall

Pink Floyd

3/5

I’ve heard of this album before ;-) But apart from the title track and a few other well-known songs, I didn’t know it, but it didn’t disappoint...

Lady In Satin

Billie Holiday

2/5

Nice, laid-back music, but a whole album of it is just a bit too much for me...

GREY Area

Little Simz

1/5

I don’t like rap/hip-hop. I’ve given it another go, but this album just doesn’t do it for me...

Is This It

The Strokes

2/5

I might have heard of The Strokes before, but it didn’t really stick with me. I’ve listened to the album, but I wouldn’t buy it...

Blood And Chocolate

Elvis Costello & The Attractions

2/5

The only track I know from this album is ‘I Want You’, and I actually think it’s the best track. I didn’t find the rest particularly special…

Penance Soiree

The Icarus Line

1/5

I’ve never heard of this band, and I’m glad about that...

Band On The Run

Paul McCartney and Wings

3/5

Nice album…

Viva Hate

Morrissey

3/5

I know Morrissey, but I’m not actually familiar with this album. I wouldn’t go out of my way to buy it, but it’s definitely worth a listen. Three stars...

The Colour Of Spring

Talk Talk

4/5

Great album! :-)

Paul Simon

2/5

This album is a bit too mellow for me...

Appetite For Destruction

Guns N' Roses

2/5

Guns N' Roses' music reminds me a bit of KISS, though I was more into KISS than Guns N' Roses, so I'm only giving this album 2 stars. It's not bad music, but it's nothing special to me...

Meat Is Murder

The Smiths

2/5

At first, it seemed like a decent album to me, but after listening to all the tracks, I was a bit disappointed… 2 stars

Emergency On Planet Earth

Jamiroquai

3/5

I quite like Jamiroquai’s music from time to time, but listening to a whole album in one go is apparently a bit too much of a good thing. Three stars…

That's The Way Of The World

Earth, Wind & Fire

4/5

This is exactly the sort of music I love, so as far as I’m concerned, 4 stars... :-)

A Rush Of Blood To The Head

Coldplay

5/5

They’re all great tracks, but my favourite on this album has to be ‘God Put a Smile upon Your Face’. But there aren’t any bad tracks on this album, so as far as I’m concerned, it gets a rare 5-star rating...

Madman Across The Water

Elton John

4/5

Famous artist: Elton John... tick! Famous song: Tony Danza ...;-) tick! As far as I’m concerned, it’s a great album...

The Infotainment Scan

The Fall

1/5

I really don't like this at all... :-(

Sunday At The Village Vanguard

Bill Evans Trio

1/5

I quite like jazz, but this is a bit too experimental for me...

Fifth Dimension

The Byrds

3/5

I’d heard of The Byrds, but I wasn’t really familiar with their music. Even though this album was released the year I was born, it’s not really my favourite. Still, three stars… 🙂

Exile On Main Street

The Rolling Stones

3/5

This is typical Rolling Stones for me: not great, but not terrible either... 3 stars :-)

Bat Out Of Hell

Meat Loaf

2/5

'Paradise By The Dashboardlight' is fine, but I don't really care for the rest... 2 stars

Golden Hour

Kacey Musgraves

3/5

I didn’t know this artist, and when I first listened to the album, it sounded a bit monotonous. But the more I listened, the more I actually enjoyed it. Three stars... :-)

Live At The Witch Trials

The Fall

1/5

Sorry, but a few albums back I was also introduced to this band and I didn’t like them at all back then. I’ve given it a go, but I don’t enjoy listening to this album either :-( No more than 1 star as far as I’m concerned...

Introducing The Hardline According To Terence Trent D'Arby

Terence Trent D'Arby

4/5

I’ve got this LP by the former Terence Trent D’Arby on my shelf, but I haven’t listened to it for a while. Great music, so 4 stars from me...

Hot Fuss

The Killers

2/5

I quite like some of The Killers’ songs, but overall I don’t like this album. Two stars...

The Modern Dance

Pere Ubu

1/5

The title track reminded me a bit of the B-52’s, but that’s about it 🙁 1 star…

Rio

Duran Duran

5/5

Lovely! This music takes me right back to the eighties. Five stars… 😁

Hot Rats

Frank Zappa

1/5

I think I know two Frank Zappa songs: “Dancing Fool” and “Watermelon In Easter Hay”. This album isn't even remotely in the same league. One star...

For Your Pleasure

Roxy Music

3/5

The first track sounded familiar to us, but the rest didn’t. I prefer the later work, but still three stars...

Rid Of Me

PJ Harvey

2/5

I’d heard the name PJ Harvey before, but to be honest I didn’t know whether it was a man or a woman :-/ Now I know, but I don’t really like the music. It’s not terrible, so I’ll give it 2 stars anyway...

Darklands

The Jesus And Mary Chain

2/5

I’ve heard of the band, of course, but I’ve never actually listened to their music. I don’t really think it’s that great, to be honest. Two stars...

You Want It Darker

Leonard Cohen

3/5

Given the history of this album, I can understand its ‘darkness’. But unfortunately, it doesn’t really appeal to me. Still, 3 stars...

Fulfillingness' First Finale

Stevie Wonder

4/5

I might just have this album in my collection… 4 stars 😁

Loveless

My Bloody Valentine

1/5

I don’t say this often, but what awful music! No more than one star for this album...

Arthur (Or the Decline and Fall of the British Empire)

The Kinks

3/5

The start was a bit of a let-down, but the second half of the album really reminded me of The Beatles. Three stars…

The Hangman's Beautiful Daughter

The Incredible String Band

1/5

Terrible music :-( One star...

Ten

Pearl Jam

2/5

Not quite my kind of music... 2 stars

Reign In Blood

Slayer

1/5

A bit too aggressive for me... 1 star

War

5/5

Haha, I was practically camped outside the record shop when this album came out :-) It’s a real gem in my collection, so it definitely deserves 5 stars...

Groovin'

The Young Rascals

2/5

Decent music from the 1960s, so I’m giving this album 2 stars…

Automatic For The People

R.E.M.

3/5

Sounds good to me, this album... 3 stars

A Night At The Opera

Queen

3/5

Fun album – there are a few well-known tracks on it too, haha. Three stars...

808 State

2/5

No, sorry. This isn't really my cup of tea. Two stars...

Imperial Bedroom

Elvis Costello & The Attractions

3/5

Definitely Elvis Costello, and there’s nothing wrong with that. Three stars...

Heroes to Zeros

The Beta Band

2/5

I’ve listened to the whole album, but I don’t think the music is very good. It’s not terrible either, so 2 stars...

KIWANUKA

Michael Kiwanuka

3/5

I quite like a few of Michael Kiwanuka’s songs, but I’m a bit disappointed with this album. Still, three stars...

The Poet

Bobby Womack

4/5

Soul and funk are two of my favourite music genres, so I quite like this album 😊 Four stars…

So Much For The City

The Thrills

3/5

At first I thought this album was from the 1960s, but I was wrong 😊 It’s actually quite nice music, so I’d give it 3 stars…

Nebraska

Bruce Springsteen

2/5

I reckon Bruce’s got a new harmonica :-D I’m not really a fan of ‘The Boss’, mind you, but I don’t think this album’s all that bad, so I’ll give it two stars...

Scott 4

Scott Walker

2/5

No, nothing special, so only 2 stars...

Sincere

Mj Cole

2/5

2-step isn't really “my thing”, but it's not actually that bad either, so I'll give it 2 stars...

Blood Sugar Sex Magik

Red Hot Chili Peppers

4/5

It’s my wife’s favourite band, so how could I not like it, haha. But I don’t love everything about it, so 4 stars...

Can't Buy A Thrill

Steely Dan

4/5

Just like the album “Pretzel Logic”, which I listened to on 26 March, I own this album too. It’s great music as well, so it gets 4 stars too...
